The title is bold and it states clearly what the page is about. The title of the magazine is next to it to remind readers of the brand. Under the title is the website, date and issue number, which are found on all contents pages.
There are subscription details which tell the reader how the can subscribe and what advantages they can get if they do so.
The images are relevant to articles within the magazine. They are striking and have impact. The page numbers anchor the stories to the images. The images dominate the page so it does not just look like a page of writing, which appeals to readers. The biggest image is corresponds to the main story.
Page numbers are used so readers can find what they are looking for within the magazine.
The colour scheme is consistent with the front cover and not too many colours are used so as not to make the page look cluttered. The colours connote the metal genre.
The titles for regulars and features split the articles up so the readers know exactly what they are getting and where everything will be.
My magazine is similar to Metal Hammer because the colour scheme is similar, the layout is also quite similar.
